You may want to automatically load your organization's animal data, either from your own CSV file or from a third-party service. You can do this on a single occasion, or choose to import animal data on a continual basis. For example, some organizations use a third-party service to enter their animal data and then upload that data to RescueGroups.org using our Import Account feature, so that we can help share their animal data with all of our listing sites.

Existing Animal Records

Please know that if you choose to use our Import Account feature to import data automatically, this action will NOT affect any pre-existing animal record that is currently listed in your RescueGroups.org account. An Import Account can only add, or edit animal records that have previously been added by that specific Import Account. If you plan to only have your Import Account load animals to your RescueGroups.org account, we would recommend that you delete pre-existing animal records in your RescueGroups.org account, prior to loading your first import file. This will help to ensure your animal records are accurate and avoid duplicate or outdated animal records.

Import Animal Records through Third Party Services

We are very happy that many providers are committed to helping the community just as we do at RescueGroups.org. You can use the services below to upload animal data on an on-going (automated) basis.

If the service you are currently using isn't doing everything they could to help you and your animals, please consider switching to one of the community-focused companies that are working with the rescue community.
